USA: The Decaying Empire

[Peregrine]

Well the OIC sees China as an alternative to USA. I hope China eclipses USA as the world's largest economy in Nominal GDP quickly!
View attachment 13007

China still needs $9 Trillion more in order to be on par with USA.

China's 1.41 billion population vs. USA's 333 million

I think Chinas GDP actually reflects its national strength really well. Huge chunk of it is industrial-manufacturing base. Its a industrial juggernaut.

US GDP otoh is dominated by finance (banks, Insurance etc.) and Real estate.

 

[Muji.Iqbal]

I hope China overtakes USA as the world's largest economy by NOMINAL GDP.

As all the Muslims say "Insh'Allah", may Allah help China

Allah might prefer to help Muslims in China over atheists maybe? But who dare speak up who Allah might prefer? Maybe USA is dominant with His blessings already. He is truly beyniaz.

I merely expressed my opinion of your opinion. What is your problem with that?

You on the other hand claimed all Muslims pray what you said. A bit presumptive.

Bismillah ur Rahman ur Rahim

In the Name of Allah (SWT) the Merciful, the Compassionate

It's sad how so many people say the words without understanding them.

Even more misguided are the ones using their claimed faith as a weapon to intimidate. Just my opinion. Not to go religious on anyone.

True, people memorize the entire Qur'an in Arabic, but does not understand the meaning.

Now that is so true. Like Deng Xiaopeng's China or Meiji Japan.

Hate Crimes in the U.S.: Who Bears the Brunt?​

HATE CRIME​

by Florian Zandt,
Jan 26, 2024

According to statistics released by the FBI, reported hate crimes in the U.S. in 2022 were up year over year both in terms of incidents as well as victims. While official numbers show that most of the crimes were committed due to an underlying anti-Black bias, there is a religious group that is seen to face even more grave problems connected to hate crime.

Our chart based on YouGov survey data published by The Economist shows that almost two thirds of all respondents surveyed online in early December 2023 thought that crimes motivated by the race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability or gender of the victims were a somewhat or very serious problem for Jewish people. In the age cohorts of 45 to 64 and 65 and older, 70 and 79 percent, respectively, thought that these types of crimes committed against Jews were a serious issue. 63 percent of survey participants thought that Black individuals face serious problems in terms of hate crimes committed against the group, while 59 and 55 percent perceived hate crimes against Muslim and Arab people, respectively, as a serious issue.

The survey results suggest that younger people in the age bracket of 18 to 29 generally see crimes motivated by racial or religious issues as a more serious problem for Arabs, Muslims and Black people than for Jews. U.S. adults aged 30 and over tend to think that Jewish people are more impacted by hate crimes. Nevertheless, these types of crimes are consistently seen as a more serious issue when it comes to minorities in every age bracket; only 37 percent of overall respondents thought hate crimes against Christians were a serious issue, while around 32 percent claimed that such crimes committed against white people were a somewhat or very serious problem.

Hate Crime Victims Most Often Targeted For Race or Ethnicity​

HATE CRIMES​

by Katharina Buchholz,
Jan 26, 2024

Based on a new reporting system, the Federal Bureau of Investigations has calculated an increase in hate crimes in the U.S. between 2021 and 2022. Considering all reporting law enforcement agencies in 2022, the FBI counted 11,613 hate crime incidents and 15,306 victims, up from 10,857 and 14,170, respectively, in 2021.

Looking at all 2022 victims, a majority of them were targeted due to their race or ethnicity, according to the report, with anti-Black crime being the most common offense comprising 29 percent of hate crimes by bias. Religion was the next biggest factor, with roughly 17 percent being victimized because of it - slightly more than for reasons of sexual orientation (16.8 percent). Here, anti-Jewish and anti-gay hate crimes were the most common. The report concludes that 32 percent of hate crimes were against property, most commonly vandalism or other damage. 66 percent of crimes were directed towards persons. The most frequently recorded type was intimidation, while at 3,179 and 1,603 incidents, simple and aggravated assault were also shockingly common.

In 2020, the FBI debuted its new crime reporting system which is able to capture more nuances - for example listing several and not just one offense per incident, the latter having led to hate crimes being undercounted in the past. However, in 2020, the system change led to many law enforcement agencies not reporting figures at all, creating limited comparability between the 2020 and 2021 gross counts (as well as with the previous years due to the changes in reporting detail).

This is the core problem that Liberals are trying to solve by raising the threshold needed for theft punishments...and their "solution" is completely wrecking cities by increasing crime and contributing to the "Urban Doom Loop".

Cities can't pay for things anymore like subway upkeep or paving roads.
City neighborhoods end up with no supermarkets or other big chains. Fill up with check cashing services, liquor stores, and high priced no-name convenience stores.

In the end people scratch their heads and say "Why are things so bad? I just don't understand why."

Ah these liberals politicians always know the best way to solve the plight of poor neglected urban neighborhoods!!! Give them more liquor! That should help!!! What angels they are looking after the people's best interests!!

Boston Mayor Wu petitions Beacon Hill for 250 liquor licenses

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu appeared before state lawmakers Monday to lobby for a home rule petition that would allow the city to issue 250 new liquor licenses in specific neighborhoods over the next …

www.bostonherald.com

Tell us: Should Boston add more liquor licenses to its roster?

Proposed legislation would give more liquor licenses to Roxbury, Roslindale, Mattapan, Hyde Park, West Roxbury, East Boston, and Dorchester.

www.boston.com

Newly proposed bills could bring hundreds of liquor licenses to Boston’s “long-ignored” neighborhoods

Can't dream up a more positive alternative eh? Good going!
